I expected to see bats flying overhead, like a scene from a Halloween picture!

According to the original Kirkbride plan, this final wing "tip" would have been used to house the violent and incurable patients; these areas were often the most dangerous and neglected portions of the hospital, giving birth to the term "back wards." Some doctors and staff at various hospitals sent misbehaving patients to these wards as punishment.
